On deck

Back from the bathroom? In a song's last 30 seconds, lyricspin shows what's playing next, or when it's time to flip the record, so nobody misses their song.

The right album, more often

A song would sometimes show up with its single or a playlist's cover instead of the album you're playing. lyricspin now tries harder to find the real album.

A special guest

Our Chief Listening Officer now makes a personal appearance, if you play the right two things on the same night. She has range.

The right cover on the song card

Tapping to listen partway through an album sometimes showed a playlist's cover and the wrong album name. The card now shows the album you're actually playing.

What's new, right here

This page. Every update worth knowing about, in plain English. Tap the version number at the bottom of any page to get back here.

Lyrics lead the singer

Each line now lights up a split second before it's sung, so the room has a beat to read it before coming in. Just like a karaoke screen.

Album-follow finds the real album

Some songs got stuck on their single instead of the album they came from, so the next track never came. They now find the album and keep the side rolling.

A new logo

Two open grooves around the label, blue to violet to pink. Music brings people together.

Lyrics on the big TV

A new setup guide for getting lyricspin onto the TV from a laptop, an iPhone or an Android phone, so the whole room can read along.
